Brumbies vs Chiefs

-
Wow "live training" as opposed to....?
Just hope there are no more injuries... -
He's highlighted the issue with young players coming through the ranks quickly (or skipping them altogether). Lack of game situation experience and, therefore, decision making skills.

I think we will win this game!
-
Awesome to see Aidan Ross fully fit and back in the #1 jersey too.
-
Great starting line up for the Chiefs, surely a win for the Guzzler's 100th.
-
I thought Sullivan would have done enough to get another start. I had to look up who Ataata Moeakiola is before remembering he's another foreigner. Anyone know when Alaimalo is back?
-
@Nepia According to a stuff article that was published on 7 February, Alaimalo was expected to be out for 4 weeks, so that would be end of February/early March.
-
Can't see the Bumbies winning this fixture.

They better bloody not, I'm going to be at a stag party that consists of mountain biking, watching this match and karaoke. I hate mountain biking and karaoke so this was going to be the highlight of the day for me.
-
Almost thought I was on pornhub with the footage of McKenzie getting a rub.
-
BBBR playing his 100th, go you good thing.
-
Alright, hope this a better game.
-
Bit of feeling out between the sides, Brumbies looking good with the ball.
-
Some desperate commentary there claiming that for a try
-
Brumbies score after a dominant scrum.
-
Fantastic try from the Brumbies, beautiful line!
-
Fuk me what a try by the Brumbies. Beautiful line from Banks.
-
Great try. Banks is a gun.
-
Have to say the lineouts this season by most teams has been woeful, no idea what’s going on.

I loved the look of disgust from Brodie directed at Harris while still in the air

Yeah he wasn’t happy.
-
Chiefs looking very individualistic
-
Oh boy, too many gaps. Brumbies in again.
-
Early days but the Chiefs looking down the barrell.
-
Fuk this I’m off to try and get a leg over with the missus, got more chance of that than the Chiefs winning this one.
-
Nice line between two forwards (4 and 8).
-
21-3! 24mins gone
-
Just like the good old days of the Foster regime.
-
Jesus Christ defence rushing up too much. Garbage start from the Chiefs.
-
Holy shit. Imagine making the Brumbies look this good.
-
Chiefs score out of nothing. Come on make a game of it
-
Are Australian teams better this year, or are NZ teams worse/affected by AB stand-downs, or a bit of both?

Our teams are worse for sure but stand downs have affected us. I doubt the Aussies have improved, but maybe having one less team is starting to benefit them?
-
Remember the Brumbies finished last year with a wet sail - they almost beat Chiefs in NZ to sneak into playoffs.
-
The hell happened to the Chiefs? Got flogged at training this week, and are now out of gas?
-
@Tim I think in the case of the chiefs,some experienced campaigners like Ngatai & Messiam who have moved on starting to bite,but also not having several others through injury including Sam Cane don’t help..on saying all that the Chiefs have been very passive in defence
-
This sucks, I’m out. Chiefs have been awful.
